Love this - the view through the window during lockdown, as seen by London Stroke Ambassadors vimeo.com/490459081 @rosettalife @TheStrokeAssoc @SameYouOrg @NeurorehabUCLP

More great work using the arts to make connections between stroke survivors - Odysseys Presents from @rosettalife vimeo.com/500968750
Congratulations Svenja!
So grateful to have been award a CONP scholar award! 2020 has been one heck of a year

Here's Cathy Stinear @StrokeScience to remind us that predicting outcome is hard and we shouldn't rely on initial impairment (especially in the more severe patients) - so think of tools like PREP2 #UKSF20 that can improve prediction accuracy

Here's @BBeare123 at #UKSF20 ..... again! Must be most heavily featured person at @UKStrokeForum so far
Looking for RA for 12 months to work mostly in MR imaging analysis for stroke recovery - see atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engin… analysis skills obviously welcome

So pleased to see my PhD work on motor learning in stroke patients come to life! Thankful for all the patients that dedicated their time to my research!
Espenhahn et al. report that motor skill learning ability is preserved after stroke, but diminished compared to healthy controls, and, also, they suggest that beta oscillations may have value as markers of motor system (dys)function after stroke. bit.ly/33CquPN

The last piece of my PhD work is finally out in @braincomms : Sensorimotor cortex beta oscillations reflect motor skill learning ability after stroke with @dr_nickward @DiedrichsenJorn @holly_rossiter

Amazing people to work with! Check them out!
We are hiring a post doc for 12 months to work on #fatigue in our lab. Lots of studies underway and ideas for the future. Have a look at our website for more information: the-effort-lab.wixsite.com/f…

Can everybody just take notice of the pandemic modelling approach used by Karl and his group @WCHN_UCL @ucl - especially SAGE, especially the government theguardian.com/world/2020/m…

The winner of our Excellence in Public Engagement Award is Kate Ledingham for her work creating videos of discussions between stroke survivors, herself and Prof Cathy Price to understand the kind of feedback patients want to receive about their language recovery after stroke!

They all show that SSRIs on their own don’t work (we knew this from animal studies back in 1970s) but have not investigated SSRIs + rehab/training (which did work in animal studies back in 1970s) #readtheliterature there was no rationale for these big expensive RCTs
Now, three well conducted RCTs show no functional benefit of SSRI following acute #stroke
Could IPD identify potential subgroups who may benefit? #ESOWSO2020

Exactly - please can the stroke community take notice of these recent failures in trial design - mistakes of neural protection era are being repeated - pretty depressing to those of us interested in #strokerecovery

A great article highlighting the immense success of our Director, Professor Cathy Price and honorary principal investigator Professor @behrenstimb upon their election as Fellows of the Royal Society for their outstanding contribution to science.

Too often we see people failing when returning to work or their relationships unravelling post-stroke because of changes affecting their higher cognitive functions. Much more focus is required on sophisticated assessment and ecologically valid, effective interventions.
Post stroke cognitive problems are all too often overlooked @JenniferNCrow @drjkwan @Dheeraj_Kall @Ismalia_S @GJenschPsych @JamilSohaa @EmelieSalford @didib77 @EmPlayfair
